The knee ________.

Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

The correct answer is: C) has ligaments present inside as well as surrounding the articular capsule.

Explanation:

<u>The knee joint is a hinge (ginglymus) type synovial joint</u> that is formed by three different bones: the femur, the tibia, and the patella.

Given the nature of the hinge joint, it should only allow flexion and extension, but it also grants a small degree of internal and external rotation. For this reason, the knee joint cannot be considered a multiaxial joint, since it only fully moves in one axis and slightly moves in a second one (this is why most people consider the knee joint a uniaxial joint, but some others say it is actually a <u>biaxial one</u>).

The knee joint isn't completely enclosed by a strong articular capsule. The knee joint is rather thin and it contains the patella, menisci, bursae, and ligaments of the knee.

The knee is not the simplest joint in the body. It is formed by three bones and there's also the menisci, which are fibrocartilaginous structures that help increase the stability of the joint and act as shock absorbers as well.

The knee does have ligaments both inside and outside the articular capsule. The intracapsular ligaments are two cruciate ligaments (one anterior and one posterior), which hold the tibia in place; the transverse ligament that connects both menisci; and the posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments. The extracapsular ligaments are the patellar ligaments (connects the patella to the tibia), the two collateral ligaments (medial and fibular, one on each side of the knee, connecting the femur to the tibia and to the fibula, respectively), and the anterolateral ligament.

_________ cells must be in osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments, because if they swell or shrink their membra
dlinn [17]
Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").
